What is recorded here
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records U 15 (possibly) as Submarine (first World War)-(1914). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
U 15 was a German U-boat lost in the North Sea during World War I, likely in 1914, though the exact date and circumstances of its sinking remain unclear. It may have been scuttled or sunk by a British naval vessel; no confirmed details on casualties or cargo are recorded, but its loss contributed to the early submarine warfare tactics of the war.
